Man arrested after Friday morning crash on Parkway

A man was arrested on multiple charges Friday morning following a single-vehicle accident on the Pennyrile Parkway.

The Christian County Sheriff’s Department says 30-year-old Darrian Montrez George was not injured in the accident near the 15 mile-marker, but that he showed signs of being under the influence.

He was arrested for DUI and a search of George’s backpack allegedly revealed marijuana, drug paraphernalia, an open alcohol container and a handgun. A computer check showed George was a convicted felon for assaulting a police officer in 2014.

He was charged with DUI, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, having an open alcohol container, carrying a concealed deadly weapon and for possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
